Case history studies is the way to analyse the errors of running a company. Then, using a simple solution(quicky business plan) the company turns around and makes money again. Case history studies usually excites the business management people to lure them into running businesses with gusto. Unfortunately, turned around companies often falters after a few quarters. The basic structure of the company still requires restructuring. And restructuring means reduction of head counts, and replace them with computer forms of quality control and business process streamlining. This process sometimes also involves adding new executives to run the company slightly differently than the old ways. The new personnel, however may have conflicts with older staff or even old customers. We have three companies that we have turned around situations. SUNW, CMGI and Novell. Each one is different, and each one is on the verge of breaking down again. Sunw did hardware discounting, after entering new service business. CMGI upsets their customer when they hired an executive who used to compete with HPQ. Novell, is still lost on the way to reinvent netware to run SOA, but trying to catapult Linux operating system; that had no customer wanting to gamble on the bugginess of Linux operating system; which is still developing the kernel 2.6.x to complete all their functional features. Linux is not ready for prime time yet; but netware is ready. These are headaches because turned around company executives are not experienced management with years of know how to offer solutions themselves. They need consultants. Sometimes, the Wall street people looking at thousands of companies for years, know how to be consultants. we often have to ask brokerage people to talk to company executives to guide them into obscene profitability.
